Carson Flores had participated in a Divine Flame Martial Contest before, so upon hearing this, he immediately felt that it was more or less the same.

As an individual, one could use this opportunity to settle grudges or make a name for oneself. As a Sect, it was a time for the strongest to step forward, challenge stronger sects, showcase the Sect's strength, and seize a higher status among sects.

The status of a Sect is not just empty words; it is closely tied to the scope of influence. The stronger the Sect, the higher the status, and the more territory they occupy, and correspondingly, the more cultivation resources they possess.

The most formidable are naturally the Top Ten Immortal Sects, each with their vast range of influence, spreading across tens of thousands of miles, and within this range, everything belongs to them.

Dynasties have to look at their mood, and frontline Immortal Cultivation Sects must bow and submit to them, contributing resources every year. Otherwise, being polite means getting kicked out, and being impolite means being annihilated!

They have complete control over their domain, like feudal lords who can establish their own rules within their domain.

Unhappy about it?

Then either get out or die!

Of course, there's a third option, which is to defeat them, replace them, and become the new king.

As the Master of the Thunder Immortal Realm, the Celestial Palace attends the Celestial Martial Exchange not to vie for status and resources but to act as a witness and maintain order.

"With our strength, it seems there's nothing much we can participate in, and the only thing we might get onto is the Golden Immortal Ranking. But fighting as an early-stage Golden Immortal against a Peak Golden Immortal is a great disadvantage."

Edward Miller smiled and said, "This ranking doesn't really matter; there's no substantial benefit. Instead, it draws attention and trouble. Watching from the sidelines is quite enjoyable now!"

Carson Flores smiled, "Let's watch together."

Evan Foster reminded, "If the Heavenly Alliance takes action against the Celestial Palace and we encounter danger, and if the Celestial Palace can't protect you—I mean, just in case, you should run towards our Treasure Path Sect, and we will protect you thoroughly."

Carson Flores didn't say much, just nodded heartily, "Sure!"

The four of them then chatted casually, and after a thorough exchange, everyone happily returned.

On the Black Cloud Vessel, Alfred Weaver saw Carson Flores returning and smiled sweetly, "Congratulations on becoming a Golden Immortal!"

Carson Flores smiled, "I didn't expect it to be this smooth this time. I originally thought it would take a long time, maybe it has something to do with the Immortal Wine from the Dragon Clan... Did you drink it?"

Alfred Weaver chuckled lightly, "I drank it. My physical qualities improved significantly, and my cultivation speed seems to have increased by at least twenty percent."

Carson Flores nodded, "Finished it? I still have some left."

Alfred Weaver shook his head, "After drinking continuously for a while, my body basically stopped reacting. Drinking more would just be a waste."

Carson Flores wasn't surprised and laughed, "The potency definitely has its limits. Otherwise, the more Immortal Wine you drink, the stronger you'd get, and wouldn't that mean you'd just take off right on the spot!"

Alfred Weaver chuckled, "Did they look for you about something?"

Carson Flores shook his head, "I've fought alongside the three of them before. We just caught up, like friends."

Admiration glimmered in Alfred Weaver's eyes without concealment, "You have quite a knack for building relationships."

Alfred Weaver truly admired Carson Flores. Despite his average talent, how much time had passed, and he had already grown into a Golden Immortal.

Who did he usually interact with?

Top-tier big shots!

Immortal Lord Selah Ellison, Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas, Ancestor of the Dragon Clan, and others. Compared to them, Carson Flores's strength was insignificant but was consistently surprising and jaw-dropping.

Would you believe it if someone told you a young True Immortal sealed the peak state and full power of the Ancestor of the Dragon Clan?

Aside from these top figures, the younger generation Carson Flores usually interacted with were all prodigies. This was true in the Barbaric Wilderness Realm and continues to be so now.

Carson Flores laughed, "I'm just lucky, treat people sincerely, and they return the sincerity."

After pausing for a moment, Carson Flores asked, "I just chatted with them a bit about this Celestial Martial Exchange. Is our mission just to watch?"

Alfred Weaver pressed her lips and chuckled softly, "Pretty much, unless the Heavenly Alliance steps out directly to start a fight, otherwise, we don't move."

Carson Flores nodded, "Alright, then let's watch."

Meanwhile, on a giant ship.

In a massive living room, a refined middle-aged man sat in the center, "Did you all get a good look at those who came out to protect Carson Flores during the Tribulation Crossing just now?"

The living room was full of people, men and women, old and young, at least thirty or so, including Maggie Fitzgerald in a striking red dress.

Maggie Fitzgerald answered with a smile, "Recognized most of them. Alfred Weaver sure went all out this time. Many experts came with his ship, all at the late-stage Celestial Immortal and Peak Heavenly Immortal, four or fifty of them. This group is not easy to deal with."

The refined man chuckled, "It's not that they can't be dealt with, but actually wiping them out is not easy."

An elder echoed, "Indeed, it's not easy, especially since there are countless other forces on site, countless strong individuals. Although most people might choose neutrality, quite a few will stand on the side of the Celestial Palace. If it really comes to blows, the enemies we face will far exceed what we currently see."

The refined man laughed, "Yes, after all, it's a Domain Master. Even if Nico Weaver isn't present, the fallen tiger of the Celestial Palace is still formidable..."
